Marco Rubio's Immigration Plan demands Latino’s continue to be the Working Underclass, Second Class citizens

There are discussions across all the Cable News Channels
about passing Immigration Reform. The President has said passing Comprehensive
Immigration Reform is at the top of his agenda this year. Republicans are
saying they are amenable to passing some form of Immigration Reform as a means
to obtain the Latino Vote especially since they did so poorly with the Latino
Vote during the 2013 Presidential Election.

Yesterday, on ABC This
Week, Rick Santorum said the Republican Party is “ready to do something
about Immigration.” However, he said, Republicans are NOT willing to allow a
Pathway to Citizenship for the 11M here. Instead, he said (sounding like Marco
Rubio) Republicans are ready to target specific areas of Immigration,
especially “the rule of law” and “fortifying our borders.” In other words, he was
talking about Walls, ICE Raids, Deportations and Racial Profiling Laws. They also
want to “ease restrictions” for those with advanced degrees.

It is clear that Santorum, Rubio and most Republican politicians
don’t have a clue as to why Latinos are not voting for them nor why we want
Immigration Reform. The answer is very simple. Latinos are not
voting for Republicans because over the last several years, as a result of their
Border Enforcement and Rule of Law measures, racial profiling laws like Arizona’s
sb1070 have been passed. They have been passed in several states. Because of
Enforcement Laws like sb1070, all 55 Million Latino U.S. Citizens have been targets
of racial profiling and harassment by law enforcement.Sheriff Arpaio and his ski-masked volunteer posse are
key examples of this abuse. Any Latino driving or walking in Maricopa County
knows this. Ask anyone in the town of Guadalupe, Arizona about Arpaio and his “suppression
sweeps.”

What those who are pushing these racial profiling laws don’t
understand is, the vast majority of the 55M Latino US Citizens are like my
family. We are NOT NEW IMMIGRANTS. We have lived here for over 200 years.In fact, by ethnicity, our ethnicity is 50%
Native to Northern America. We ARE Native Americans.Yet, those pushing the “Rule of Law” Racial Profiling
laws say -- Latino Citizens should “accept” this racial profiling because “we
fit the profile.” How ludicrous. That’s like saying “teens and twenty
somethings” should accept Profiling any time a school shooting occurs. Or when
a serial killing occurs or a Wife Murder occurs, all White Males in their 40s
and 50s should be profiled, just because “they fit the profile.” Would this be
acceptable? Of course not! And neither should racial profiling against Latino
Citizens or sleepy little Latino neighborhoods like Guadalupe, Arizona.

All 55M Latino US Citizens in America want to be treated equal
to all other Americans. Through our own hard work, we want to have the ability
to achieve the American Dream. It is thatsimple.

We Latinos will never vote for a party that insists upon
these racial profiling laws – or – as they term them “Rule of Law” and “Border
Enforcement” measures. Those that support these heinous laws say they are not
racial profiling laws and even put these words in their bills saying they are
NOT racial profiling, but there is NO DOUBT that these laws are intended and
enacted as racial profiling laws specifically targeting Latinos.

Another troubling aspect of Rubio’s Immigration Plan
is
his refusal to include a pathway to citizenship for the 11M here. Instead, his
Plan allows a Legal Status only. As reported in the Wall St. Journal:

Rubio would grant temporary legal
status to those who passed background checks, underwent fingerprinting,
demonstrated English skills, and could prove having an extended residence in
the country. These newly legalized immigrants could apply for permanent
residency leading to citizenship but would not receive any expedited
consideration. They would have to apply through the same channels as aspiring
immigrants outside the nation’s
borders.

This has caused some concern among
Latino advocates who worry that some immigrants would have to wait years or
even decades to convert their temporary status to permanent legal status. But
Rubio has assured potential critics that he does not want to create a worker
underclass akin to what exists in France and Germany.

“I don’t have a solution for that
question right now,” Rubio told reporters and editors at The New York Times.
He has proposed accelerating the process for granting green cards to legal immigrants.

It is clear. In Rubio’s plan, Latino’s continue to be the
Working Underclass, Second Class citizens, here only to do the jobs Anglo
Americans don’t want to do. His Plan calls for easing restrictions for the
Elitist Northern Europeans with Advanced Degrees. Yet, there is NOTHING in his
plan asking for Citizenship status for the Latinos who have been working on
their hands and knees, harvesting fruits and vegetables for the American Dinner
Table.

We Latinos want ONE THING: We want to be treated equal to all other
Americans. Through our own hard work, we want to have the ability to achieve
the American Dream. It’s that simple.

I think that Obama will be an excellent President for Economic Recovery and ObamaCare, that will make him a Great President, even if Immigration, Gun Control, Gay Marriage, Climate Change improvement and other projects and ideas may fail.

The improvement on the standard of living of the Poor and Middle Class will make Obama a Great President. But I strongly doubt that everything expressed in the inauguration speech is possible.

Republicans probably will sink the Immigration Reform and they will have to pay the bill in the 2016 Presidential Election. .... Call me pessimist, but I see the Republican Party so obsessed with Racism and Hatred, that they won't be cured in four years.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are only shills, decoys, steerer, beguilers and deceivers of Hispanics.

They are Trojan Horses, clowns, stooges, and they will be rejected by Latinos.

They are like the Fishing and Hunting decoys. Like putting a Duck decoy in a pond to attrack wild Ducks that are flying over the pond.

About Me

Hello. My name is Dee. I live in Texas. I am an American. My ethnicity is Hispanic. Many would call me Mexican or Mexican American. Some call me a female, PRO-Immigration Reform - Ann Coulter.
My parents, their parents and theirs were all born in the USA.
My husband and I have been happily married for over 20 years. My husband is a big, Irish-American. We have two grown sons. We are happy and my family is doing well. I have been employed as a mid level manager at a very large, well known corporation for over 25 years, now recently retired.
In May, 2006, after the Immigration Marches, I started seeing the cable news channels talking very negatively about illegal immigration. I found many internet sites were talking negatively about legal and illegal immigration issues as well.
Since I do research on the job, I started conducting Immigration research on the web. I joined several Immigration websites and I researched others. I´ve learned so much about Immigration issues over the last year.
What you don´t see on the internet is the Mexican American perspective.
I am here to share my views with you.
